Check My Wood!

I wanted to show some photos of the new women in my life. The first is my M-14 rifle that I bought in April and the other is my M1 Garand that I bought from the CMP this month. The M14 (first two photos) was purchased from Springfield Armory. The M1 Garand was purchased as surplus from the government. The M1 is a Harrington and Richardson Arms that was built in 1952 around the time of the Korean War. I don't know if this rifle saw any combat. I am in the process of stripping all of the cosmoline and old finish from the M1 and will refinish it. As soon as I am done, I will post it here. Let me know what you think.
